Firstly, thanks to Carol for this lovely ATC that she sent me.I was on holiday in Eastbourne when WOYWW celebrated its third birthday, so I missed out on the 'official' swap, but some kind WOYWWers volunteered to swap with me since. Thank you, Carol.
Regular visitors to my blog will know that I make a lot of Christmas cards (as well as lots of other cards) - I blogged six yesterday. I have my own Christmas challenge blog (CHNC - if you haven't come across it, please do go and have a look and join in if you can) and I also try to enter as many other Christmas challenges as I can to support them.
So on my desk today you can see mainly Christmas stuff, having received a Hunkydory kit from C & C. Because I make a lot to sell for charity I need to make some that are easy to put together, although to be honest I prefer to make ones that involve stamping, inking etc.
I was able to get round to see a lot of workspaces last Wednesday - I wonder how I'll do this week?!? It's lovely to see variety of talent and creativity as well as marvel at the organisation of people's crafting spaces.
Thanks for all the visits and comments I received - much appreciated.
I'm beginning to really like steampunk, lovely atc, I'm still swapping too! Thank you for my weekly snoop!

Love the ATC! The cooper washer is a perfect embellishment. I wish I could get my mind wrapped around Christmas projects right now. I am always runnung around at the last minute trying to get thing done. dani31
ReplyDeleteThe ATC is beautiful. I would love to get involved in Christmas cards but no time right now.
ReplyDeletei love steampunk great atc!
ReplyDeletehave a great week.
ps i have some nearly a year anniversary blog candy! trace x 58
Fab ATC - and I spy some very nice IndigoBlu stamps on your desk. You are the reason why I am now making several Xmas cards each week - thank you! I nearly gave into temptation and got that Hunkydory deal - but had spent far too much on inkpads/Pan Pastels/Nigel May's CD-Roms/Flutter Glu Starter Kit/Xmas stamps ... already. Just seen the preview of the Crafters Companion Xmas CD-rom, and NEED that (POTD on Friday night). Ali x #70
ReplyDeleteNice to see that Christmas stuff - reminds me I need to start earlier this year than in previous ones to save the usual rush.
ReplyDeleteLovely atc - Steampunk - love it!
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #21 xx
Not, not going to think about Christmas yet.... but I should get ahead (always say it, year after year...) Love the atc you got in your swap.

The ATC is lovely, love the colour. I saw that kit on C&C and it is great for your purpose as it looks quick to do but like you, I prefer stamping. Love that IndigoBlu (?) set on your desk, I would love to have that one. Happy WOYWW, Anne x #57
ReplyDeleteLove that ATC. And I always refuse to consider Christmas till about November 30th but this year I seem to have it on my mind WAY too early (for ME!)
ReplyDeleteCarry on CHristmas Crafting - you'll be laughing in December while I'm crying :)

Hi there Hazel - think those things on desk to make easy cards are super Hazel love olde worlde ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for popping over and thanks for sharing ~ happy WOYWW! Shaz in Oz. x #50
Can see you are heavy into the Christmas scene. I don't really get started on that for a couple of months yet. Thanks for stopping by BJ#4
ReplyDeleteGreat ATC...and I love the set of rubber stamps on your desk. Have fun being creative and Happy WOYWW. #42. Thanks for stopping by I appreciate the support. It's been a lot of stress.
ReplyDeleteSo great to be that organized that you're beginning Christmas in June! I bet your recipients save all the cards you send ♥
ReplyDeleteOooh that kit looks fab, which is good because I'm waiting for mine to arrive! I thought the same, it all looks so coordinated so I thought it would make making lots of cards easier! Take care, enjoy this week's snooping extravaganza! Zo xx 74
ReplyDeleteOoh I can't even think of the C word until November but you do make lovely stuff Hazel!
ReplyDeleteLove JoZarty x
Your an inspiration Hazel! Since I've decided to make cards (again) I will make some Christmas cards for a few special people in my life. I must admit, though, that I'll wait for the first snowfall to do so!
ReplyDeleteAnd look at all those markers! Wow!!
Thank you for visiting me already!
Hugs,
Kay #36
Great atc, nice to feel that you got something even though you couldn't take part, I was in the same boat. Always wondered what you did with those three million cards you make every year!! Good for you selling them for charity and helping others. Have a great week.

happy woyww, it looks like you have your hands full with the card making.
ReplyDeletehave a crafty week, mark
Oh, Christmas cards! I normally leave them for the very last moment :) Happy WOYWW and have a great week! kissinia
ReplyDeleteLovely ATC - I do like Steampunk, maybe it's the result of having been dragged to various steam train museums when my boys were younger!! There's something about cogs and pistons!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, LLJ #3 xx
I love those images on your desk!! Thanks for the peek!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!!

Just popping in to say hi and sing some Jingle Bells!! waving the #49 from the hills of North Carolina :)
ReplyDeleteWill have to check out your Christmaschallenges! I know what you mean about 'easy' ones. I make a lot of Christmas cards and usually choose at least one very simple design that I can replicate quickly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by to see me - by the way anytime you want an ATC trade feel free to contact me! Cindy #14
I love steampunk and alternative crafting images, great job on the ATC! Is that the Hunkydory Blockbuster? It's a mega bundle, I seriously had to stop myself buying it because I've still got tons of christmas stash left over from last year!!! Although it gets harder to resist. Debs #146
ReplyDeleteHow fun! A steampunk ATC! If I were a good person I would start to think about Christmas cards now. However, I think I'll just take the easy way out and embrace my evil side. I am so impressed by those who can do it so early. I love the card kits you have there. Maybe if I had something like that to inspire me....
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of Christmas! I don't make that many since the twinks came along and we do a family portrait card to send out to family and friends. But I still have a lot of Christmas stuff and am enjoying seeing all your cards and others. I have a feeling I'll be making some this year as it gets closer. Have a great week! Darnell #55
ReplyDeletelovely goodies on your desk. i was also on holiday during the anniversary and am going to do some swaps soon. happy WOYWW!

Super ATC, and I love the kit on your desk - which is waaaay tidier than mine was yesterday :) Di xx
ReplyDeleteLove your ATC and Christmas! I've been thinking I get cracking on that. Maybe today! Sorry to be so late in posting. It seems I was just too busy to do much yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThe weather at the moment makes it feel more like Christmas than June! Good idea to make Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteBernice (21)
Hi Hazel! I received the ATC you sent me and have posted it on my blog! I see here from your workspace that you are very busy with all sorts of projects! I missed WOYWW this week but hopefully will be on track again next week!
ReplyDeletexoxo Karen
Wow, I can't get my head round the C word until well after the wrong side of Novemnber lol! Well done you, getting so many Christmas cards done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog - thankfully I am now feeling a lot better after a rubbish week health wise, but I brought it on myself by overdoing it recently. Worth it though, because I really enjoyed the craft show!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #15
Such a cute card - I hope you'll link up at 52 Card Pickup again this week!
